For the wicked and deceitful attack me; they speak lies against me.

They surround me and say hateful things, and they attack me without cause.

In return for my love they accuse me, but I pray for them.
5 Hno then te kai taengah boethae neh, kai kah lungnah te hmuhuetnah neh a khueh uh.
They repay me evil for good, and they hate my love.

May their guilt always be before Yahweh; may Yahweh cut off their memory from the earth.

May Yahweh do this because this man never bothered to show any covenant faithfulness, but instead harassed the oppressed, the needy, and the disheartened to death.

May this be the reward of my accusers from Yahweh, of those who say evil things about me.

Yahweh my Lord, deal kindly with me for your name's sake. Because your covenant faithfulness is good, save me.

With my mouth I give great thanks to Yahweh; I will praise him in the midst of a crowd.
31 A hinglu aka boe sak lamloh khang ham khodaeng kah bantang ah a pai pah.
For he will stand at the right hand of the one who is needy, to save him from those who judge him.
